Wednesday, November 8, 2023 at 9:26AM The Fount of Thanksgiving
Today is November 8, 2023
Welcome to your mid-week!
Knowing God's mercy is where true thanksgiving flows from. However, fully embracing God's mercy can be hard.
I mean, to admit that we are all sinners. To see the just judgment for our sin is death. To see how God shows us mercy by not giving us the judgement we deserve instantly but to delay it.
To fully embrace God's mercy can be hard.
But, when we do; when we see how God's mercy extends from throughout history to this point now,
just so that we might have the opportunity to know his love;
just so that we might have the opportunity to know that we do not have to face judgment for our sins;
just so that we might have the opportunity to know that there is someone who - like Moses - is pleasing to God and mediates on our behalf, paving the way to our salvation
just so that we might have the opportunity to know Jesus
THEN, suddenly you understand why the bible tells us to give thanks in all circumstances (1 Thessalonians 5:18), why every good and perfect thing is from God (James 1:17), and why Apostle Paul describes God as someone who is rich in mercy (Ephesians 2:4).
Only by knowing God's mercy can we truly give thanks to the Lord for God's mercy is the fount of thanksgiving.
God's blessing upon you as mediate on God's mercy, and I look forward to worshipping with you this Sunday.
